Can´t attach iPhotos to emails

When I try to attach photos from iPhoto library to emails, the folowing happens: The popup appears for me to choose the files to attach to the message. I choose iPhoto library, and the multicoloured "please wait" icon appears and revolves for as long as I leave it. Nothing else happens. I have to force quit and restart. Please help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you're using Mail as your email client start with iPhoto first. Select the photos you want to email and click on the Mail button in the bottom toolbar. You'll get a window to select the size to send and Mail will open with the photos in the body of the email.
If you have to go from Mail to iPhoto try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. It may be a permissions issue. But the recommended way to go from iPhoto to Mail.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I can't send iPhotos in email any longer.

    The error message is : Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. It used to work before.

    Have you recently enabled two-step verification?
    Then you may need to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto.
    Other forum members reported, that creating  an app-specific password is required, see the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • How Can I  send iphotos by email to BCCs?

    How can I send iPhoto pictures using e mail to BCCs?

    Do you have Mail open before you select any photos to email? If you do, and the BCC field doesn't show, you can make it appear by selecting the View>Bcc Address Field option in Mail. Then just enter the recipients in that field, add any message you like in the Body of the email and click 'Send'.

  • How many photos can you attach in an email ??

    Is there a limit to the number of photos you can attach to an email? I've found when I try to send more than 5, my Iphone wont let me select any ... but accept if I keep it to five. This is for IPhone 6.
    Thanks

    That's up to your email provider, and the limit is the total size of the email. Usually it must be under 10 MB, which is about 5 photos.

  • Can not attach files to email, can't reply to or forward selected emails.

    I've seen others post this problem, but have not been able to find the solution. What has happened is I suddenly cannot attach any files... pdfs, jpgs, docs or anything to my emails. Also, when I hit the reply or forward button on some emails that I have received, nothing happens. On a few, a reply or forward window does open, but there is no rhyme or reason to why some work and some don't. At any rate, I can't attach any files to any of my mail.... new ones, ones I'm trying to reply to or anything. I've seen that others have had this problems occur, but I have not found a solution based on any of the replies. Oh! The other thing is that its only happening on one of my computers. I have an older G4 that has the same mail setup and everything works fine. Its only on my G5 that this happens. I've tried tossing some preferences as suggested from some of the other posts, but still the same. Help me!

    How crazy would it be...
    OOPs, you don't want to ask me... I always resort to crazy things when nothing else works!
    Quit Mail. First I'd backup your whole Mail folder. Right click on it, choose Archive. Move the Mail.zip to a safe place. Only the plist will be separate.
    Try dragging this file to the Desktop, (in case we need to put it back), first, then logout/in, reconfigure your account required on this one...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    If that doesn't work, now that you're all backed up & can get back where you are now... give it a rtry!

  • Can't attach files to emails

    I recently upgraded to a G5 Dual 2GHz system running OS X Tiger. I am having trouble attaching files of any kind to email. I have email accounts with Charter High Speed Cable, and a SquirrelMail account with APlus.net (who hosts my Website).
    On my older Beige G3 tower, I never had a problem. As soon as I got the new machine up and running, I lost the ability to attach files using either account.
    I know it is a system issue of some sort, because I can attach files to emails from either account from remote locations. I can receive attached files, but can't send attached files.
    Are there any known conflicts with Tiger that could be a culprit? Could it be fax software or Norton Antivirus?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Can't attach files to email, only folders

    This problem happens with Apple Mail, when I click the paperclip icon - the subdirectory appears but I cannot open any folders. I also cannot adjust the view (list, icons, etc). I can attach entire folders, but that's not what I want to do (I want to attach individual files). I know I can drag and drop files, but that's not how I like to work. Furthermore, I also have this problem when using web-based email providers (hotmail, gmail) AND when trying to send files through Facebook's messaging system. The drag-and-drop option does not apply here.
    This has been happening for the past couple of days.
    I know I'm not the first person to have encountered this problem - a number of users have reported the same issue. But so far, I haven't come across any fixes. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have this problem too and/but only recently. Really annoying. Someone suggested reinstalling Mac OS (10.7.5)
    - oh joy; can't even remember how to do that & as if I have nothing better to do. 

  • Can not attach vcard into email or text

    I have a Q10 and was able to attach a contact vcard to an email or text in the past. Now I get "invalid and not attached". When in contacts and try to share contact from there, I get "contact data can not be shared". I can attach pictures and files, just not contacts. Didn't work in 10.3.1.15..  Just downloaded update 10.3.1.1865 and have same issue.

    OS 10.3.1
    BlackBerry has verified that this is a known issue: KB36670-Unable to share contacts on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone .
    Hopefully a fix comes soon.

  • Can't attach documents to email on iPad?

    Why won't apple simply put an "attach" button in its email?  Is it possible that the iPad still cannot support multiple email attachments?
    I mean at this point it is still impossible to attach multiple documents to an email you are composing on the iPad? When do we get that feature? iPad 10?
    What makes this so hard for Apple to do? I do this all day on my Android devices.  I have three iPads(1,2 and now 3) but found myself increasingly dependent on my Samsung Galaxy devices because of simple things like this that are so crucial but which Apple, in its imperial majesty, refuses to allow (same thing happened with Flash, Apple might win the argument in the long run, but will never be able to tell to what extent the lack of flash gave life to lesser competitors like Samsung and Amazon who are now able to look Apple in the eye). Apple could have allowed flash and simply phased it out -- or offered it as an option.
    Anyway, Apple is increasinly forging its way into the enterprise domain. And yet you cannot email documents from the body of the email (as opposed to sharing a document from inside another app).
    Why won't apple simply put an "attach" button in its email? This is so frustrating. Apple makes the easiest to use tech products in the world, and yet, it frequently refuses to allow the products to do the simplest things imaginable -- like send attachments from your email with ease.
    Why won't apple simply put an "attach" button in its email? Again, this is simply frustrating.

    Ask Apple.

  • Can read attachment of the email

    I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac.
    However, I found out that I could not read multi-page tif or jpg files attached to the mails.
    There is no problem for OS X 5.8 Leopard.
    I moved the files to the desktop and tried to open them by using preview, but still can't open them.
    How come to the OS X 6.0 Snow Leopard that it could not perform such simple function?
    Can any one tell me how to do?

    Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
    I know about multi-page PDF, but not sure what you mean by multi-page tiff or JPEG? Clarification, please, including the source of these files? Would they be something that would require Flip4Mac to open (don't know why) or something similarly incompatible until a new update?

  • I can't get iPhoto to email photos

    I keep getting the message that the email server doesn't recognize the user name/password when I try to use iphoto to sent pics.

    I'm guessing you're using iPhoto as the email client.  That being said, go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the emal account and add it back.
    If that doesn't solve the issue a better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.  Mail is more reliable, gives you a sent copy, provides better access to your contacts and does have layouts similar to iPhoto's themes in its stationary selections.

  • How do I make a simple voice recording that can be attached to an email?

    I want to record a short message, mp3 or any format is fine, and attach it to an email. I've tried opening Garage Band to do it, and downloaded Audacity, but I have no idea how to use either one. I have a microphone that plugs into the audio port, and know how to switch to "use audio port for sound input" in preferences. But I want a simple command that says "start recording" instead of the complicated control panels I see in the two programs I've looked at.

    Thanks for the software suggestion - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/Audio-Recorder.shtml - it looks good. Why do you use it instead of Garage Band?
    Had it before GB existed; I use other audio software for other tasks, but this one is probably the most easy to use app (of any kind) I've ever used. Click, speak, click, click. Done, with file sitting on my desktop.

  • How do I make a photo a jpeg that can be attached to an email and not in the body

    How do I attach photos to an email so that they are an attachment and not in the body of the email?

    Right click on the photo in the email and select Display as Attachment from the contextual menu.  How it ends up is dependent on the email client.  You may have it show up as an attachmen before sending and the receiving end may be set to display it in the body.
    In either case be sure to set Mail to send Windows Friendly Attachments:
    If you compress/zip the file it before adding to the email it will definitely be added as an attachment. But that requires an couple of additonal steps and to assure the zipped file will be Windows friendly you would need to use the free YemuZip application.
